“Edith was the perfect sitter for our Gracie! She allowed a meet-and-greet before Gracie’s stay, was careful to follow our care instructions, and gave us regular updates every day. We felt very comfortable leaving Gracie with Edith and would love to do so again in the future!”


“Emily was great with our dogs kept us updated on how they were doing and sent lots of pictures. I think the dogs we sad that we came back for them, and that they didn't get to stay longer.”


“We're very happy with the care Kaycee and Robert provided are beloved labs!!! We recommend them if you're in need of pet sitting. They were very flexible and easy to communicate with. Will definitely use them again for our future needs.”


“I could not ask for a better care provider for my Maltese Ollie, who has been cared for by only family members until recently! Hope went above and beyond to ensure that Ollie was comfortable while I was away. She invited Ollie and me to her home before committing to caring for Ollie. She was honest in sharing his daily joys and stressors, which was refreshing! She also provided suggestions to improve Ollie's comfort the next time I am away - too awesome!”

“Lorelei is wonderful! She took care of our young, energetic dog (Star) for a full 10 days during a cold part of winter, and gave Star an active and relaxing experience. In talking with Lorelei at our brief meeting before Star's boarding, she demonstrated a great deal of knowledge about caring for dogs/pets. She asked us questions about our routines, and understood our preferences. She provided a welcoming and warm environment and made sure that Star got lots of care and attention, and we knew that Star was safe and having fun. Star loved being in a space with other dogs, especially Lorelei's sweet pup! Lorelei sent photos and videos every day, and was very responsive throughout our time away letting us know how things were going. We are more than satisfied with the care she offered! Thank you Lorelei!”
